I finished one PSI and started work on the other one. I used the large 40 pound litter containers for material. They make great PSI lenses.
The starting container
The rear plate being fitted. The holes are drilled in the dome and the plastic is clamped in place. 1 hole is drilled through the plastic and then a screw is inserted through the dome and the plastic. A T-nut is screwed to hold the plastic in place. The clamps are moved to a new location and a heat gun heats the plastic while slowly screwing the clamps down. Once the plastic is mostly in place, I used crushed ice in a baggie to cool and the plastic to form. Repeat the drilling process until the whole plate is in place.
The completed product (front). The holoprojector still needs to be cut out.
Back side of the front plate. The PSI LED holder will be changed out and the cone will have a new holder mounted soon.
